Silver River Museum and Environmental Education Center

The museum is comprised of two exhibit areas. The Main Museum features exhibits related to Florida geology, paleontology, archaeology and natural history. The History Wing’s exhibits pertain to Marion County and Florida history.

The Silver River Museum is open weekends from 10 AM to 4 PM. Please note that we are closed to the public on weekdays.

Field Trips: While school is in session, on weekdays, the museum serves the school system and the grounds are closed to the public. No admission fee is charged to students enrolled in Marion County Public Schools when they attend a scheduled class field trip, however there is a $3.00 transportation fee per student.

Charges also apply to private and home school groups, and out-of-county classes for class trips to the museum.
